Del Davies, KentI’m fed up with late and cancelled trains – and railcard increases for a deteriorating service.
Phillip Pritchard, EdgbastonWe need an integrated national rail system. It is the only rational answer to the current chaos.
Glenn Richards, Wotton-under-EdgeThe HST (125) had a perfect safety record under BR. Within a few years of privatisation, profit before safety, there were two crashes in London with massive fatalities.
John Carter, Kings SuttonBecause the fragmentation of the rail network to feed the profits of the private sector is madness.
Paul Monaghan, LiverpoolScrap the corrupt privatisation model. Justice for the 99%.
Stephen Clark, CumbernauldPut the money where it belongs, back into the railways, to enhance them and bring down the cost for the people that use them.
Mark McQuillan, LondonEast Coast is doing well under national ownership, It would be good to see more of it.
Caroline Schmutz, LondonFor an affordable and integrated public transport network.
Bert Wells, LudlowBring British Rail Back.
Vincent Gould, SolihullFares are much too high, and the service is inadequate. Re-nationalise now.
Christine Laugesen, LeylandI remember British Rail before it was all sold off. It worked well. Since privatisation we’ve returned to the Victorian era. Re-nationalise, now.
Joanne Turner, CamberleyBring back British Rail.
Kevin Gregory, BidefordI remember BR and it was fit for use.
Maggie Harrison, WashingtonI think our rail network would be better and more user-friendly if it was nationalised.
Gavin Hamilton, EdinburghEast Coast rail never worked as well as it has over the last few years. Now it’s private again it’s terrible. Cheap fares means more travel and business across the UK.
Patrick Oakes, BaildonPrivatisation of the railways has proved to be a failure. Re-nationalise now.
Ivor Sperring, WolverhamptonThe rail system is too important to be left to profiteers.
Christopher Hyde, DunstablePublic railway, not run by business for dividend profit, ideally means income (except basic expenses) can be returned to system – allowing investment in upgrades.
Alan Notton, EssexAnything that looks after the people of this country and not lining the pockets of the greedy 1% gets my vote. It’s just common sense really.
Tun Loakthar, LondonThanks for organising. I always wanted to find people who also want nationalisation of British Rail.
Jordan Murray, LondonRun for people, not for profit.
Liz Verran, LondonPrivatisation only benefits the lawyers negotiating franchises.
Richard Love, StamfordDr Beeching screwed the railways up. So let’s do the right thing and bring back British Railways. Forget HS2.
Brian Marden, ObanIt seems strange to be subsidising multi-millionaires to run our rail system, yet cutting benefits for some of our most vulnerable citizens.
Allan Hall, YorkBR had such a poor reputation as a brand I am not surer we want it back, but we certainly don’t want the current system.
Andrew Marsh, PolegateTransport is an essential public service and should be run by the state for the people, not to line the pockets of shareholders.
Pete Williams, SouthamptonI’d rather go by train than drive, but the sad fact is the car is far cheaper, even when proportionally factoring in initial price, tax, insurance, fuel and depreciation.
Lesley Ward, ManchesterThe trains are old, dirty and late or cancelled.
Lee Osborne, SkiptonPublic transport should not be run for private profit.
Keith Hitchings, QueenboroughIt should never have been sold off in the first place.
